To create a slope map, you can use the Surface Analysis - Slope command.
normally a "slope map" or "aspect map" will display the attribute values generalized over areas (regions) instead of at points, such that within each area, ...
Figure 6 shows the slope map derived by "fitting a plane" to the nine elevation values surrounding each map location. The inset in the upper left corner of the figure shows a 2-D display of the slope map.

slope map See: map, slope soil map See: map, soil spheroid Mathematical figure closely approaching the geoid in form and size and used as a surface of reference for geodetic surveys.
Derive a percent slope map from the Ned30 DEM. Be careful to select the DEM in the dropdown menu in the slope dialog, calculating slope from grids that do not represent elevation can be useful sometimes, but only if you understand what you are doing! ...
To answer this question, the GIS overlays each patch of forest from the forest patch data set onto the slope map and then calculates the area-weighted average slope for each individual forest patch.
